a. MLC storms’ structure
MLC storms are low-pressure cells constituting more than two disparate air masses involving
cold, warm, and occluded fronts. Fronts are the top edges of air masses. Their structure is complicated
since they constitute numerous air masses, and their configuration varies from the born stage, mature, and
occlude. Its cold fonts have the largest system, which stretches to over 1000 miles. MLC high transitory
contains energy that moves poleward and upwards (MLC PowerPoint slide 2). MLC is entrenched in the
jet rivulet and structure from the upper-stage dynamics lows.
b. Upper air situation
Relative to the cyclogenesis, two constricting air multitudes are side-by-side, prompting a
stationary front. Due to density differences, short wave advances setting cold and warm fronts.
Concerning maturation, the 500 level occurs with a low-pressure cell reaching its least calibration. At this
stage, the cold and warm front is properly advanced. Occlusion constitutes storm dissipation as moisture
hastens out. The warm air mass moves and advances poleward (MLC PPT slide 46).
c. Air masses involved with MLC in Midwest
The air masses occurring as a result of the storm are cold fronts. Cold fronts transpire when a
colder, denser, and drier air mass streams into and undercuts a warmer air mass. During winter, an
impending cold front forms snow and airstream, promoting a likely snowstorm in the Midwest. In this
region, the blizzard has visibility of less than a quarter a mile grounded on snowfall or the wind blowing
snow (MLC PPT slide 74). In the early spring, the cold fronts prompt cold and freezing rains or sleet and,
in some cases, snow in the upper Midwest.
d. Warm and wet conveyor
The conveyor brings out a stream of warm and wet air resulting in stressed precipitation when the
warm wet air is lifted and shelter the anterior boundary. An instance of this conveyor is the Pineapple
Express. Middle Latitude Cyclones advects moist mT air of this conveyor from Hawaii water into
California. At this stage, it experiences orographic and frontal lift yielding snowfall accumulation
extending from three to seven feet in the Sierra Nevada (MLC PPT slide 52). It impacts rainfall ratio and
snow with approximately eight feet of snow and one feet rain (MLC PPT slide 53).
e. Type of satellite suitable for tracking MLC
Geostationary satellites are situated in space when observed from the universe's surface.
According to NOAA, geostationary operational environmental satellite (GOES) off continuous
